    摘要: The present invention provides a plating apparatus which uses an insoluble anode and which can perform plating of a substrate stably while preventing oxygen gas, generated due to the use of the insoluble anode, from causing defects in the substrate. The plating apparatus includes: a substrate holder for holding a substrate; a cathode section including a seal ring for contacting a peripheral portion of a surface, to be plated, of the substrate held by the substrate holder to seal the peripheral portion water-tightly, and a cathode for contacting the substrate to supply current to the substrate; a vertically-movable electrode head provided above the cathode section, including an anode chamber housing an anode made of an insoluble material and having a bottom opening closed with a water-permeable porous member; a plating solution injection section for injecting a plating solution between the anode and the surface, to be plated, of the substrate held by the substrate holder; a power source for applying a plating voltage between the cathode and the anode; and a gas discharge line for discharging a gas from the anode chamber.
